COGONI Guillaume 95b3002201 contrib/vscode/: debugging with VS Code and gdb
The externalConsole=true setting is broken for many users (launching the
debugger with such setting results in VS Code waiting forever without
actually starting the debugger). Also, this setting is a matter of user
preference, and is arguably better set in a "launch" section in the
user-wide settings.json than hardcoded in our script. Remove the line to
use VS Code's default, or the user's setting.

Add useful links in contrib/vscode/README.md to help the user to
configure VS Code and how to use the debugging feature.

Configuration for VS Code

VS Code is a lightweight but powerful source code editor which runs on your desktop and is available for Windows, macOS and Linux. Among other languages, it has support for C/C++ via an extension with debugging support

To start developing Git with VS Code, simply run the Unix shell script called init.sh in this directory, which creates the configuration files in .vscode/ that VS Code consumes. init.sh needs access to make and gcc, so run the script in a Git SDK shell if you are using Windows.
